Some well placed vegetable oil would've came in really handy there <_<

That's where that caked up shiny paint they use on underground support beams in stations and on 1980s/90s jungle gyms come in handy.

Or strategically placed barbed wire.

Whatever does the job effectively, I'm all for it.

You sit back & read some of the comments in that reddit thread giving this guy props, talking about he deserves that free ride & shit... If I ever see someone attempting to do anything of the sort & it backfires on them, not only would I not wince at the end result, I would commence chuckling.... Won't be no ambalamps calling on my end.

Hey, my guy is an absolute fool, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I was a little impressed.

After watching vintage Top Gear with James May racing folks free climbing mountains or climbing buildings and jumping roofs, my guy's got a good start. But it wasn't "ZOMFG" for me.

I don't underestimate people, so being impressed by this nonsensical act was the last thing running through my mind watching this.

Hey, just on a physical level... I tend to assume everybody else has the same physical skills / lack thereof as me. So I'm always impressed when somebody can actually run, actually climb, actually jump, etc...

Yeah, I mean, tears weren't streaming down my face, but I had a definite 'well, damn, I'd be in the ICU if I even thought about doing that' feeling... And don't bring up vintage Top Gear and get me all hot and bothered on a Monday for no good reason...

I just burned through all the episodes available on Prime and HBO Max.

Nice to know I'm not the only one missing when Monday nights were lit.

Also, the next Grand Tour releases on Dec 18.

Yeah, alright, fine, physical level.... Got it... Comment still applies.

Like not underestimating people, something else I don't do is compare myself to other people.... People in general just don't interest or impress me.

Looks like the dude completely got away with it, though (at least, a successful free ride, assuming he hasn't been arrested... yet).

Or a pidgeon 💩s on his face on the way up.

Wow..Ive never ever saw something like this...And he was doing it while a train was still going into the station...

The timing of everything leads me to believe this is something that was practiced to eventual perfection.... Either that, or these mf-ers are pretty dam good at physics.
